“In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.”
John 1:1-3
These are the words of John the Apostle, one of Jesus’ closest disciples, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, who proclaimed that Jesus was Who He claimed to be; One with God, Very God of Very God. “He that hath seem Me hath seen the Father” (John 14:9), the maker of heaven and earth, and only way to life everlasting.
“He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them gave He the right to become the children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor the will of man, but of God.”
All history proves that what happened in the Garden that led Adam and Eve to hide from God; Cain, their firstborn son, killing his brother; and the sordid, ego driven, murderous history of mankind since, is the basis for understanding where we are in history, not only in America, but around the world.
Before Adam and Eve disobeyed God in wanting to know both Good and Evil, they were innocent and guiltless. After their fall from Grace, they experienced immediate alienation from their Creator, and guilt from having their eyes opened to evil. Their firstborn son, Cain, after disrespecting God, spitefully killed his brother Abel; thus beginning man’s historic propensity to do evil under the influence of “the prince of this world.” (John 14:30)
For centuries before the virgin birth of Jesus, the Prophets of Israel, from Moses to Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, Ezekiel, Amos and Zechariah, wrote in indisputable detail of their coming Messiah’s birth, life, message, authority, crucifixion, and resurrection.
Jesus’ fulfillment of those Prophesies, His miracles, His claim to be one with the Father, death on the cross to atone for our sins, and His Resurrection, attest to His authority and have not been and cannot be, refuted. He was and Is Very God of Very God, the Alpha and Omega (Revelation 1:11,17-18) from the ‘beginning’.
Jesus’ descriptions of the end of the Age of the Gentiles … in which we live … and revelation of the end of the world as we know it, cannot be shoved aside as irrelevant by world leaders, including our own. The fact that elected and non-elected government officials in America; bureaucrats, judges, and those to whom we have foolishly entrusted our children to educate, not only ignore, but deceitfully reject His Authority in obeisance to the fallen angel of darkness and death, and will not fare well at the Judgement Seat of Christ.
“Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” And Jesus answered and said to them…
“Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumors of war. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My Name’s sake, and then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. “Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.”
The Gospel of Matthew Chapter 24:3-14
Jesus’ teaching about the events leading to His Second Coming, the Tribulation that would engulf the world, the Anti-Christ, the great battle of Armageddon, the Judgement of the nations, and the establishment of His Millennial Kingdom are all found in Jesus’ revelation of these things to His disciples just before His trial and crucifixion (Cf. Matthew 24:1-39, Mark 13:1-36, Luke 21:25-36, and John the Apostle in Revelation; Paul in II Timothy 3:1-5; and Peter in II Peter 3:3-10).
“And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life,
and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life, and he who does not have the Son of God, does not have life. These things have I written to you who believe in the Name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.”
“”…if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
Romans 10:9-10
